"Daddy's coming home!" Sam yells running through the house.

"Dadadada!" Will screams with her.

"Yes Yes daddy's coming home." Brad says laughing at his children. This is the calmest I've seen him since before Connor's early delivery.

James went to pick Connor so Brad could straighten up the house. Sam's been running around the house screaming since Brad told her. TJ and Ryan are on the heels grinning. Will has been trying to keep up with them on his short little legs.

Next thing TJ appears out of nowhere and stops in front of me. He taps my knee. He's way of asking if he can sit on my lap. I hold my arms out for him and he climbs up. He sits in silence for a second before looking up at me.

"Papa? Are you and Daddy ever going to be like Uncle Con and Uncle Brad?" He asks me.

"What do to you mean?" I ask him confused.

"Like will you and Daddy ever be together like them. Sleep in the same room and kiss all the time and be married and stuff." He explains. I understand now what he's asking.

"I don't know bud. I love your daddy with all my heart so if it was my choose I'd say yes but that's up to your daddy." I tell him.

"Oh." He says pondering my words. "So if Daddy were to say yes, you'd be like Uncle Con and Uncle Brad?"

"Yeah we would." I tell him nodding.

"Okay. I don't want a little brother or sister anymore, though. I don't want Daddy to die like Uncle Con almost did." He says kissing my cheek and climbing off my lap.

"Where are you going?" I ask him.

"To find Sam. She stopped yelling." He says. Listening I realise he's right.

"Maybe she finally ran out of air." I say laughing. TJ laughs too.

"We're back!" I hear James's voice carry through the house. "We have a surprise!"

"Daddy!" Sam calls out and I hear feet running across the floor. TJ takes off and I start rolling behind him.

We find James and Connor in the living room. Connor is just sitting down on the couch and James is standing in front of something. Sam, Ryan, and Will come in right behind us.

"Dadadada." Will says running up to the couch with Sam on his heels.

"Careful you two." Brad tells them walking into the room.

"Hey baby. Missed you." Brad says pressing a kiss to his husband's forehead. "What is the surprise James mentioned?" Connor nods at James with a grin. James takes a step to the side revel a baby carrier on the floor.

"They said he's strong enough to come home with me." Connor says as Brad walks over to the carrier and picks up his tiny son.

"I told you he'd be strong." Sam says looking at her little brother with pride.

"Sam, climb up on the couch next to your Daddy." Brad tells her. Her eyes light up as she does.

"Hold your arms out like this." Connor demonstrates for his daughter. She does and Brad carefully places the infant boy in her arms.

"I'm gonna protect you, Johnny. Til your big and strong. Sissy's gonna protect you." I hear Sam whisper kissing him on his forehead while their parents and middle brother watch on.

------------------------------------------------

So the first pic is Sam and Johnny. The second is TJ.

I am going to write a sequel. It will be surrounding Sam and TJ when they're sixteen. There is one more chapter and the epilogue in this one then I'll start the next book.

I need help though I need a title for the next one and I have no ideas.
